Car Caravan Coming To Town :: Retail Therapy Guide 2/16/2024

We have gotten several questions about when the next Free Palestine rally is (the first march was here). It is every Sunday from 12-3pm at Polhill Park. This week, there may be a Car Caravan attached to it, as there has been call for a Car Caravan from Kingston to Beacon on Sunday. If you enjoy car parades and decorating your car, this leveled up rally is for you. This week, after some pressure was applied from Palestinians, Jews and others to the Beacon City Council to pass a Ceasefire Resolution, the council declined. You can read/watch the Beaconites who commented so far at Public Comment here at ALBB's Instagram. Articles to come on these, but you can get the sneak peek there. Some other Things To Do events are below, plus must-enjoy food and shopping from our favorites.
